Former Everton captain Joseph Yobo has stated categorically that Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam are clear favourites for this season’s Champions League after Tuesday night heroics.
The Dutch Eredivisie side pulled off another miracle by knocking Juventus out of the Champions League on Tuesday night, following their 2-1 win at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo headed home in the 28th minute to open the scoring, only for Donny van de Beek to equalise for the Dutch club six minutes later before Matthijs de Ligt got the winning goal on 67 minutes.
The ex-Everton and Marseille defender added : ”It’s 22 years since they qualified for the semifinals, this is very impressive, this team has done something that is very special.
Now they are looking like one of the favorites. Can they get to the final, can they win the semifinal?
Following their win against The Old ladies, Ajax will face the winner of Manchester City’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the semifinals.
